Abstract
39 cases of transitory cell (15 cases of well differentiated, 12-moderately and 12- poorly differentiated) urothelial bladder carcinoma were studied immunohistochemically. Expression of adhesion molecules, collagen, laminin and tenascsin was investigated. Their role in a decrease of a differentiation degree of urothelial carcinoma was revealed. The possibility of the above markers use for individual prognosis is demonstrated.
